Question

Solve the equation to find the value of n.

Answer 1

n = 15

Explanation:

A

the area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as

A = length × width

here length = n - 3 and width = 2 , then

A = 2(n - 3)

given A = 24 , then

2(n - 3) = 24

B

solving the equation for n

2(n - 3) = 24 ← divide both sides by 2

n - 3 = 12 ( add 3 to both sides )

n = 15
